TbMnO3中磁感应铁电性的第一性原理理论

First-principles theory of magnetically induced ferroelectricity in TbMnO3

Andrei Malashevich, David Vanderbilt

摘要:

利用第一性原理方法研究了正交晶系TbMnO 3中磁旋轮序通过自旋-轨道相互作用引起的极化。分析了磁螺线位于b-c平面的情况,其中纯电子对极化的贡献很小。我们着重研究了晶格介导的贡献,并研究了它与LDA+U方法中库仑相互作用参数U以及自旋螺旋波矢的依赖关系。还分析了不同位置上自旋轨道相互作用的作用。

英文摘要:

We study the polarization induced via spin-orbit interaction by a magnetic cycloidal order in orthorhombic TbMnO3 using first-principle methods. The case of magnetic spiral lying in the b-c plane is analyzed, in which the pure electronic contribution to the polarization is shown to be small. We focus our attention on the lattice-mediated contribution, and study it's dependence on the Coulomb interaction parameter U in the LDA+U method and on the wave-vector of the spin spiral. The role of the spin-orbit interaction on different sites is also analyzed.
